We spent most of our day today at a local lake, it was overcast today so not bad as far as crowds go.
The kiddos had a great time swimming and catching minnows. Little girl tried to bring one home as a pet. Too bad it did not survive the car trip.
I love my boys face in this picture, he was coming up from being under the water.
I am participating in I Heart Faces weekly photo contest, hop on over to see other entries.
Reviewing my list from last week it appears that I did actually get around to making everything.
Actually the hero chicken is in the oven while we speak. Checking my spice drawer I did not have, or could not fine the parsley and paprika so I substituted tarragon and BBQ spice mix for those items.
So on to this week…
Day 1 – Cheesy Cauliflower Ham Casserole
Day 2 – Grilled Salmon
Day 3 – Cheesy Beef Bake
Day 4 – Breakfast for Dinner; Baked Egg
Day 5 – Cheesebuger Quiche
and the treat I made for the kiddos this week is . . .
Warning… these are not low carb…. I was good I just did a tiny taste test! One kiddo loved them, the picky kiddo did not… My taste test says they are yummy!!
Hope everyone has a terrific week!
I have been trying to do low carb for a year and half now…. had success with a 70 lb weight loss, then regained about 25 lb back and now have lost 10 of those lbs over the last couple of weeks.
The key for me is sticking to a low carb diet and exercise.
I still feed my kiddos the carbs, though and the hubby is happy to eat the meat but stays away from the sugar free concoctions for the most part.
I have found quite a few good low carb recipe recipes, which I will share with you today.
Day 1 – Scallops sauted in butter and scallions with a bit of garlic
Day 2 – Hot Dogs (no bun for me) It is a a busy day with only 45 min in between activities for us.
Day 3 – Margarita Grilled Pork Tenderloins This is becoming a family favorite, you will not be disappointed!
Day 4 -Heroin Chicken I will modify it to use with Chicken Breast Tenderloins. In case the kids ask what it is called, I think I will change the name to Hero Chicken.
Day 5 – Left overs
That’s it! Have a fun week!
Sharing over at, hop on over to see other meal planning ideas.
Margarita Grlled Pork Tenderloin
Wow!
It has been a while since I have updated, guess my new love Pinterest is taking up all my free computer time, what little their is.
I think too, I have been unmotivated. I have changed the look of my blog several times to try to find my motivation.
I sort of like this one but the yellow on the side is a bit too bright for me.
I am the same way with day planners, usually changing every few months to stay motivated to use it,
I think I read somewhere where that is a right brain dominant issue.
So here is an updated family photo… my little lovies who take up all my other spare time.
Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday, full of sunshine and fun.
So anyway, do you Pin? If so, leave a link so I can follow you and if you don’t and want an invite let me know that too, I will try to figure out how to do that;I think I have a few invites that I can pass out.
